2013-2014 Theme
“Believe, Dream, Inspire…”
The Reflections Arts Recognition Program is a national arts
recognition and achievement program for students. Since
1969, more than 10 million students across the nation have
taken part in this popular PTA program.
The Reflections Program provides an excellent opportunity for
students of all ages to:
 Unleash their creative talents and be inspired
 Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork
 Experience the joy and fun of making art
 Tap into critical thinking skills to create art inspired by the
annual theme
 Receive positive recognition for original works of art
Students submit an original piece, inspired by the annual
theme, for their school’s Reflections Program in any of the
following arts areas.
 Dance Choreography
 Music Composition
 Film Production
 Photography
 Literature
 Visual Arts
To allow student artwork to be recognized and judged with
the appropriate developmental age and skill levels in mind,
the Reflections Program is organized by school grade, offering
five (5) divisions.
 Primary: Preschool-Grade 2
 Intermediate: Grades 3-5
 Middle School: Grades 6-8
 High School: Grades 9-12
 Special Artist: Ungraded
To take part, student entries at a school are first recognized,
judged and celebrated by the local PTA unit. Some selected
unit entries are then chosen to represent the
PTA at the council and district PTA levels. Student artwork
submitted to California State PTA by a district PTA will be
considered for an Award of Excellence and an Award of Merit.
Students recognized with a California State PTA Award of
Excellence will have:
 An opportunity to showcase and perform their artwork at
the California State PTA convention
 Prizes including an Award of Excellence medal, certificate
and $100 savings bond presented on stage at convention
 An expense-paid trip for the award-winning student and
one parent/guardian to California State PTA convention
These Award of Excellence entries represent California State
PTA at the National level of the Reflections Program. Student
recipients of the National PTA Award of Excellence and Award
of Merit are recognized at the annual National PTA convention
and their artwork is featured as part of the program’s
traveling, national exhibit.
FUTURE REFLECTIONS PROGRAM THEME
The Reflections Program annual theme search offers
another great way for students to get involved in the
Reflections Program. Encourage your student to brainstorm and imagine a theme that will appeal to others
in preschool through grade 12. For submitting the
award-winning theme, the student receives $100 and
recognition at the National PTA convention in June.
Entries are due November 1. Forms can be found at
www.capta.org under Programs, Reflections.

“I choreographed my dance to the song “Imagine,”
because the song is about having no lines and the world
living as one. This is an integrated dance which brings
people with and without disabilities together. I believe
everyone should be equal. I hope my dance can educate
and open people’s minds. Also, I hope to inspire some
social change and make a difference in this world.”

“I love to draw on the computer. Drawing makes me very
happy and excited. This is how I show everyone how I am
feeling and what I think. This is a picture of me at camp
Lodge. Camp Lodge is when my family spends time together
in the summer. This time is special. The picture is at
nighttime, I am roasting marshmallows and playing with
rocket Balloons. I am in my power chair. I love my chair. In
it I am able to move by driving, sit up and do lots of things. I
want to show everyone how my chair is set up and
decorated with the tray, seat belt and my arm slings. The
slings are very cool, they help me move my arms so I can
hold the stick and marshmallow. I can do lots of things in my
chair it is purple, my favorite color. This picture makes me so
happy. I want everyone to know how happy I am and that I
believe in me and that anyone can do anything they want
and be happy.”
“I’m dreaming I’m vacationing in Paris. I walk down an alley and I
am lost. The alley is endless. I’ve missed my plane and are
homeless. I wake up and go back to sleep. Now I watch on the cliff
at sunset. I’m angry because I’m blind and have been watching the
sun for too long. Again, I wake up and go to sleep. Now I am back
in Paris and my mom pulls me onto the plane. I wake up to her
scolding me because I’ve been sleeping for three weeks!”

“This Morning - originally written as a theme to a
musical I’m writing - is a song meant to inspire
people to do new things and believe in themselves. It
is written to say that you should always be who you
want to be and do what you want to do - no matter
what other people say. In the musical I wrote it for, it
is sung by a poor farmer whose hardships do not stop
him from being himself and pursuing his dream.”

“My name is Miranda Loyer and my film is titled
Elimisha. Elimisha is the Swahili word for inspire. My
film is about successful and inspiring AfricanAmericans and how because they were different,
they became special in many ways. I believe my film
relates to the theme because it talks about how the
people I’ve chosen stood out and how they continue
to inspire people like me. As Ella Fitzgerald would
say, just don’t give up trying to do what you really
want to do. When there is love and inspiration, I
don’t think you can really go wrong.”

Inspired by dances from other cultures. Dance can
bring people together. This dance represents Brazil,
Senegal, India and the U.S. as separate cultures to
cherish. We come together to respect each other’s
cultures, and learn new things. Learning about one
another helps us find our similarities, and celebrate
our differences. This piece includes Contemporary,
West African, Samba-reggae, Bollywood, Bhangra,
and Hip-Hop dance. I shaped the traditional styles to
show connection, and the world coming together.”

“One day I read some books of famous people having
struggle and hardships during each individual’s life.
They believed in themselves and worked hard to
make their dreams come true. One that inspired me
is: Being called hopeless as a composer. Beethoven
preferred playing his own composition instead of
improving his violin technique. I believe my dream to
become a great composer is USA will be come true
with the help of my family’s support, having several
songs and winning a variety of awards throughout

dakota’s Words
Kelsey Bond

Isaac Sowers Middle School
Fourth District
My name is Dakota Henshaw, and my life is anything
but normal. After all, having cerebral palsy doesn’t make
for a very normal life.
I live in a house. I eat food. I’m a human being. But I
can’t live in that house without someone always there,
watching me, making sure I don’t lose my balance or have
one of my fits. I can’t eat that food without it first being
spoon-fed to me as if I were a baby. And, let’s be honest,
most people really don’t see me as a real human being.
They talk about me as if I weren’t right there, as if I
were deaf or something. They look away when they see
me in my wheelchair with my head lolling to one side, my
limbs mostly immobile. I can’t control that. It’s not my
fault. But the worst part is they think I’m dumb. I mean

first-class, can’t-tell-mouse-from-elephant stupid.
I don’t have the kind of cerebral palsy that affects
someone’s intelligence. I can see, read, count and add in
my head without a problem. The real problem is that I
can’t tell people that. My parents seem to be the only
people who believe the details of my diagnosis and know
I’m as smart as anyone else, despite skeptical looks from
people who have seen me.
My first-place regret about having cerebral palsy is
that I can’t write. I love words. I love the way they sound
and the way they can be twisted, manipulated, and paired
with other words to create new worlds of sound, texture,
flavor, color, and music. In my head I like to create stories
about the things around me. I start with making phrases,
then I mush the phrases together into a little story and
add onto it.

The Beauty is in the details
Abby Fenton
Seventh Grade
Sutter Middle School

“The beauty of a person isn’t just about the outside (flower).
It’s about all the little details underneath the surface (roots
and lily pads) and their background (clouds and sun) that
brings out their true beauty. A truly beautiful person can
recognize their dreams, believe that they can accomplish them,
and inspire others around them to go after their own dreams.”

“Believe, Dream, Inspire… Those are three powerful
words. My choreography represents how our
generation must inspire the next generation just like
we were inspired by the generations before us. We
have to inspire them to dream of all the possibilities in
life and encourage them to believe in themselves and
who they want to be. At the beginning of the dance, I
am a little girl and the pillow represents the inspiration
that another dancer has passed to me. At the end of
the dance I pass on the inspiration to a little girl who
represents generations to come.”

“As I live my life, it is impossible to experience
everything in this world. But instead, I read about other
people’s experiences from books. I wanted to express
this by connecting the pages of the book with the hairs
of a human. The lips portray the belief that the book
gives us, while the eyes dream. Each of the pages and
each of the hairs are connected in a way to convey the
message that inspiration comes from books.”

“I was walking along a bridge in Prague when I happened upon a
small metal grating filled to capacity with locks that caught my

on it. After the lock is fastened on the bar, the key is tossed into
the river. The act represents the permanence of the relationship

custom is spreading throughout the world and is inspiring
more romantic promises and dreams.”

“To me, the theme reflects the journey undertook by every

others may find foolish, and sharing their inspiration with

wanna be artist, embodies perfectly the spirit of freedom
and magical inspiration that defines the world of art – where
dreams, no matter how seemingly ridiculous,
can be realized.”
